31 <p>Boost buildable with gcc and also usable as part of another
36 <b>Milestone 3</b> (May 21, 2003)
38 <p>Two gcc versions and two other compilers are supported. Some other
39 tools (e.g. lex and BoostBook) are implemented.</p>

45 <p>More tools implemented.</p>
49 <b>Milestone 5</b> (Jule 2, 2003)
